Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1 jalapeno diced
  • 4 cups Chicken Bone Broth
  • 1.5 cups sour cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 cups frozen sweet white corn
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced jalapeno, sautéing until they are softened—about 5 minutes.
  • Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and continue to cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Cook the Chicken: Place the boneless chicken breasts in the pot with the broth, bring it to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes.
  • Shred the Chicken: After the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it once it's cooled slightly.
  • Combine Ingredients: Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir in the sour cream, shredded cheese, frozen corn, dried oregano, and chili powder. Mix well.
  • Heat Through: Continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes until everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish and Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls, and top with fresh cilantro and additional cheese, if desired.
